Ingredients

cutting board

baking sheet

parchment paper

two plates

Depending on the size and shape of your zucchini, you may need to adjust how you cut up your zucchini. My zucchinis were about the diameter of a smaller English cucumber and about half the length.

So I cut them each in half, lengthwise. Then into 5-6 long strips that I cut in half.

Preheat oven to 400degF.

Make a two-plate dredging station. Add the heavy cream to the first plate. Combine the cheese, panko, and seasonings to the second plate.

Cover a baking sheet with parchment paper. Dunk each zucchini fry into the cream and then roll in the panko/cheese mixture. Lay them flat on the baking sheet. Spray evenly with cooking spray.

Bake in oven for 30 minutes. Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.

Special note: You can totally make these in the air fryer if you don’t mind doing it in batches or have the full-sized oven with an air fryer setting (I love mine!). You will need to adjust the cooking time to accommodate the smaller batches if using a countertop fryer. If you have the setting on your oven to do air frying, you can use the same temperature and time listed in the recipe card.
